The Grid

Inspired by a digital world full of vibrant colors. The Grid playing card deck is the premiere deck designed by 4PM DESIGNS. The first in a new line of custom playing cards. Don't get lost with cards featuring over the top designs, making it a task to read quickly. Custom designed playing cards should help enhance the user experience, not make it difficult to find out what your card is. We have created a Black Deck designed to be practical but with collectors in mind. These cards feature all the traditional imagery we are all used to, but are delivered with a unique touch of imagination. Flashy yet practical. Whether you're a Cardist, Collector, Magician or just want something different for your weekend poker games, The Grid is sure to offer some head turning reactions for everyone to enjoy. Welcome to the Grid.

Printed by the USPCC/Bicycle®

Because of our backers huge support this deck will be printed by the USPCC. Consisting of 56 cards manufactured on Bicycle® card paper using the same processes as the world's leading playing card.

PDF PROOFS are below.

REWARDS!!!!

MINI UNCUT SHEETS

These sheets are a one of a kind item. Printed on the highest quality playing card stock that has the same air-cushion texture/"dimples" in its surface as the USPCC's Bicycle® brand. These mini uncut sheets have the same thickness, snap, look and feel as the stock used for The Grid Playing Cards. The sheets are 8.3 x 11.7in and feature 8 full size cards per sheet. Because this is a custom order straight from a separate stock provider, there is no finish on the sheets and they do not have back side printing.

1. ACE SPECIAL - Featuring the 4 Aces, 2 Jokers and Both Special Cards.

2. NUMBER FACE - Contains 8 number cards, 2-9.

Where the money goes?

All the money initially goes directly to having these decks printed and delivered, as well as the production of our other rewards for our backers. These decks have already been set up with the USPCC, but we need your backing to get them produced.

Shipping Time

All our rewards are listed to be sent/received in November. This is just a fail safe. We actually intend to ship them out as early as possible. But considering whatever rewards your pledge will include, shipping might take a little longer until all your rewards are available (with the exception of the FREE decks).

International Shipping

For backers outside the US, please read the rewards carefully to know what your shipping costs will be. Different rates apply for larger supplies but any additional funds will be mentioned. Please be sure to add the additional cost to your backing order for proper shipping.
